tofu's manga / #Decent(243)

I don't really vibe with the manga as a whole. It's got a healthy relationship for sure, supportive couple with great respect for each other is always welcome, but i think the overwhelming positivity kinda threw me off heh. Still good though.

Nothing new in the plot and characters dynamic, but i like how the author made the MC as "pansexual" rather than "straight turned gay" or "gay for exclusively one man" like many others did.

Smut (esp one that centers around teenagers) isnt my cup of tea but this one has so many healthy relationship points! Communication, respecting your partner's preferences, taking your time, etc. My favorite and most memorable one is where the MC (reluctantly) wore a cute maid dress bc he thought that'd make his bf happy, but then his bf was like "if i can choose, then i want you to wear a butler costume" because for him, "cuteness" is not about the outfit, but the person who's wearing it. And that's super precious!

Good atmosphere but the relationship is underdeveloped, it would've been better if it was at least 2 volumes. I wish there was more art stuffs and more development of the characters, but as it is right now it all feels pretty surface level. [SPOILER ALERT] I love the name thing, how until the very end, even the readers don't know what ML's real name is. Only the MC does, and that's pretty neat.
